Calculate the percent activity of the radioactive isotope strontium-89 remaining after 5 half-lives.

1 answer:

5 0

The answer to this question would be: 3.125%

Half-life is the time needed for a radioactive molecule to decay half of its mass. In this case, the strontium-89 is already gone past 5 half lives. Then, the percentage of the mass left after 5 half-lives should be:
100%*(1/2^5)= 100%/32=3..125%

Mendeleev positioned elements in the periodic table in increasing order of their atomic numbers, such that elements having identical chemical properties and characteristics plunge into the same group.

What is Mendeleev's periodic table called?

In order to represent similarities and patterns in the behavior of elements, Mendeleev created the periodic table, which is an arrangement of elements in an increasing atomic mass order in tablet form.
Mendeleev stated that "Element characteristics are a periodic function of their atomic weight" in his renowned periodic law.
The Periodic Table of Mendeleev is a table that Mendeleev created to list elements in the order of their atomic weights.

Mendeleev discovered that there were two elements with atomic weights between 65.2 and 75 because he found it very satisfying that the properties of the elements were more similar and closer to this level.
He also imagined having other elements with possessions similar to those of these other elements.
In the periodic table, he left a blank for these two elements until they were finally discovered in their true existence.

21 mL It required 42.35 mL of H2SO4 to neutralize 21.17 mL of 0.5000 M NaOH. Calculate the concentration of H2SO4

bija089 [108]

The balanced equation for the above reaction is
2NaOH + H₂SO₄ ---> Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O
stoichiometry of NaOH to H₂SO₄ is 2:1
number of NaOH moles required-0.5000 M / 1000 mL/L x 21.17 mL = 0.010585 mol
According to stoichiometry, acid moles required are 1/2 of the base moles reacted
Therefore number of H₂SO₄ moles reacted - 0.010585 /2 mol
Number of moles in 42.35 mL of H₂SO₄ - 0.010585 /2 mol
Therefore in 1 L solution - (0.010585) /2 / 42.35 mL x 1000 mL/L = 0.125 M
Molarity of H₂SO₄ - 0.125 M
